Nothing matches the aesthetics of a fireclay sink. Based on designs used for centuries, the apron front Franke Fireclay sinks add a hint of the European countryside to your kitchen. Especially attractive with natural wood counter tops, these rustic sinks give the illusion of stepping back in time. While the appearance may be reminiscent of the Old World, the features are not. Made to modern specifications by Villeroy & Boch, this sink is as rugged as it is appealing. With exterior dimensions of 19-3/4” wide by 15-3/4” deep, the sink requires a minimum cabinet size of 21” and can be installed as a drop-on sink or undermounted for a clean look. The sink’s 6-3/4” interior height gives enough room for most household chores. Franke recommends using the sink as a cutting template, since the firing process and material attributes of these sinks can cause the sink’s dimensions to vary by up to 2%, making each Franke Fireclay sink a one-of-a-kind piece that is unique to your kitchen. The sinks are available in a choice of three attractive finishes and are glazed on three sides with Franke’s exclusive Ceramicplus finish, an extremely hard and virtually scratch-proof glaze with an ultra-smooth dirt repellent surface.
